Chapter 661 Three thousand kilograms of TNT high explosive

The 8th Army headquarters, General Wei Lihuang, General Feng Yizhong, General Dorn, and General He Shaozhou, and others happily celebrated the victory with tea instead of wine. All the personnel of the military headquarters breathed a sigh of relief. The battle on the front line was successful, and the expected goals of the battle were achieved. The three high grounds of A, Yi and Wu were conquered, and Gulongpo was basically won. From a strategic perspective, they had basically taken the initiative.

Since Gunlongpo is connected to Komatsu Mountain, if you want to completely control Gunlongpo, you must capture Komatsu Mountain. The first priority to capture Komatsu Mountain is to conquer Altitude. Altitude is located in Xiaosong Mountain, between Gunlongpo and Dayu Pass. Once you capture Altitude, Gunlongpo can fully control it and open the door to attack Dayu Pass.

After a brief celebration of tea instead of wine, the four generals came to the table to watch the map.

Now the Japanese army's fortification groups or small highlands on the map are marked with the serial numbers of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the front line and military headquarters maps have been unified.

Of course, the military map is not grid-based, and there is no need.

The conquering of the three high grounds of A, Yi and Wu inspired the confidence of the military leaders.

After discussion, the four bigwigs made the following decision.

First, General Li Mi, deputy commander of the 8th Army, was immediately transferred back from Longling to assist Commander He Shaozhou in command of the battle. Due to the tight war in Longling area, the Chinese Expeditionary Force Command temporarily transferred General Li Mi to Longling to coordinate the various units for one day. At this time, the Songshan Battle made progress. General Wei Lihuang and others believed that the focus of the battle must be completely on Songshan, and the offensives in Longling and Tengchong and other places could be temporarily suspended. I thought that as long as Songshan was captured, the army could advance into Longling and Tengchong in an oppressive manner, and it would be less difficult to capture Longling and Tengchong. General Li Mi could take two hours to return from Longling.

The second is to let Zhang Junhao and the special melee team rest on the position to restore their physical strength and replenish ammunition.

The third is to send the 246th Regiment of the Central Team to the top, and the attack was already high.

Fourth, the 2nd Company of the 71st Army Mountain Cannon Battalion formed a "single artillery suicide squad" and advanced to 300 meters in front of the formation to destroy the enemy fortress.

Fifth, after the 246th Regiment conquered the highlands, Zhang Junhao's melee team immediately launched an attack on the Japanese fortifications at Dayakou. Before the highlands were conquered, Zhang Junhao and the melee team all rested.

After receiving the order from Commander He Shaozhou, Zhang Junhao immediately led the commando back to Genghe Highland and entered the Burgundy to rest.

Because the next target of the attack will be Dayakou, and the side is safe, the special melee team can advance to the Bing Ding Geng Highlands.

After Zhang Junhao was on the phone with Colonel Luo Zhong and Colonel Brandon in the castle, he ordered the front line command post to come to Geng Heights. Three infantry units were deployed in Bingding Geng Heights. The artillery detachment moved forward to the woods five hundred meters away from the front line.

Each department is in place, and it is six o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Junhao presided over a meeting of officers above the command center of the special melee team at the front line command post to study and deploy the next action. After the meeting, everyone had breakfast, rested, and waited for the news of the 246th Regiment launching an attack on the alpine high ground.

Until now, Zhang Junhao didn't know that the 8th Army headquarters still gathered General Wei Lihuang, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, General Feng Yizhong, chief of staff of Chongqing, and General Dorn, the highest adviser of the US military. He only thought that the order issued by the 8th Army headquarters was made by General He Shaozhou alone, and thought that General He Shaozhou understood Zhang Junhao and the Special Melee Team for hard work, so he deliberately let Zhang Junhao and the Special Melee Team rest for a while.

If you knew that General Wei Lihuang was waiting, Zhang Junhao would have been in a cold sweat, because if General Wei Lihuang and others had an accident, the consequences would be unimaginable. In fact, it was also very unsafe. The Japanese plane had just arrived to bomb yesterday, and today the Japanese plane still had the possibility of bombing!

General Wei Lihuang and other such high-level generals came to the 8th Army headquarters to supervise the battle, and it was impossible for the front team to know that even the division-level officers would not know. It was a secret that General Wei Lihuang waited for the 8th Army headquarters to supervise the battle.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, fierce battle broke out on the west side of the special melee position.

Zhang Junhao looked out at the west side of the castle shooting hole, and there were explosions everywhere and gunfire everywhere.

The alpine high ground is not far from the Geng Highlands. Zhang Junhao discovered that the mountain artillery of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was concentrated on bombing the alpine highlands, and a team of infantry advanced to the alpine highlands in the traffic trenches.

Zhang Junhao knew that no matter how strong his ability was, he could not take on all the battles. Since the next combat mission of the Special Melee Team was very clear, he could only pray that the warriors who launched the attack would have good luck and not suffer too many casualties.

Colonel Luo Zhong and Lieutenant Colonel Xie Xinming stood by Zhang Junhao on the left and right and observed with a telescope.

Colonel Luo Zhong said to Zhang Junhao: "Captain, if we capture the Dazhikou, we can connect with the Yin Mountaineering support point, and then we can attack Zigaodi. Zigaodi has a great impact on the overall situation of the war, so we must be taken down in advance."

Zhang Junhao looked towards Zigaodi, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

Xie Xinming said: "The mountain in Zigao is high and you can only attack from the top. We came to the 71st Army of the Expeditionary Force. The 6th Army has launched many strong attacks and suffered heavy losses every time. After the 8th Army replaced the 71st Army and the 6th Army, they had to attack Gulongpo and attack Zigao sideways. Before we thought of a good idea, we should not attack blindly, otherwise it would still lead to heavy casualties."

Colonel Luo Zhong said: "Prepare for the future, so we must put the attack on Zigaodi on the agenda now. In order to avoid the 8th Army headquarters ordering us to attack Zigaodi, due to insufficient preparations, our actions were frustrated."

Zhang Junhao looked at Colonel Luo Zhong and asked in a low voice: "What are your good ideas?"

Colonel Luo Zhong sighed and said, "Anyway, it cannot be like the attack method of the 71st Army and the 6th Army."

Gu Yun

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "Zigaoland is a whole, with a large size. It is estimated that the entire mountain has been hollowed out by the Japanese army to build a fortification system."

Colonel Luo Zhong nodded and said, "It should be so, so if you attack with a strong force, you can't attack."

Zhang Junhao looked at Xie Xinming and asked, "What do you think?"

Xie Xinming shook his head and said, "Enable attacks from the ground, even if the Japanese army does not have artillery fire support, they can severely damage our team by relying solely on a strict fortification system. Captain, we all know that your special combat capabilities are extremely strong, but they are not suitable for attacking such a powerful and strict Japanese fortification."

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "Let me think about it carefully."

Zhang Junhao closed his eyes and thought in the brainstorm mode.

Faced with complex battle situations, Zhang Junhao would habitually use the brainstorming mode to think, first come up with a large number of methods, then eliminate them one by one, select several more suitable ones, and then compare and filter them. The final determined method may not be the best, but it must be the most realistic.

Zhang Junhao thought for about three minutes, and it took quite a while. Colonel Luo Zhong and Lieutenant Colonel Xie Xinming were both watching!

Zhang Junhao opened his eyes and sighed, "It's hard to come up with a perfect solution. Let me call Commander He Shaozhou and discuss with him."

Colonel Luo Zhong quickly picked up the walkie-phone microphone on the back of the guard and dialed the 8th Army's headquarters. After the phone was connected, Colonel Luo Zhong told the other party that Zhang Junhao, the captain of the special melee team, had important military information and asked Commander He to answer the phone.

Zhang Junhao and He Shaozhou were on the phone.

"Captain He, is there any way to get a large amount of high explosives from the US military?"

"How much do you want? What do you want high explosives?"

"I want to use TNT high explosives to explode all the mountains where Zihe is located."

"Ah? It's all over the mountain!"

"Yes! The entire mountain in the Songshanzi Highlands was built into fortifications by the Japanese army, and one fortification was unrealistic to conquer it. If enough tnt strong explosives could be done, I thought it would be the best way."

"Dig a tunnel? Dig a cave? Build an explosive into the mountains?"

"Yes. The Yin mountaineering team can dig tunnels into Zigaodi from now on. When we capture the Daya Pass in the future, the Yin mountaineering team can almost dig caves into Zigaodi."

"How could the Japanese army guarding the mountain let our team dig a cave?"

"Imdenshan and Dayakou fired fire at Zigaoland, and eliminated the entire Japanese army to prevent the digging of caves. If the Japanese army fired fire, use artillery fire to suppress the Japanese artillery fire. When the Japanese infantry attacked, our special melee team protected the flank security."

"Let me report to the Commander-General's Office. If the Commander-General's Office agrees, it will adopt your suggestion and carry out tunnel blasting operations on the Zihe River."

General He Shaozhou said he wanted to report to the commander-in-chief's headquarters. What a big deal! The commander-in-chief is in the 8th Army headquarters! Wei Lihuang and others are in the military headquarters, which is top secret. Even the 8th Army divisions do not know about it, so naturally Zhang Junhao could not know about it.

After General He Shaozhou talked about Zhang Junhao's idea, General Wei Lihuang expressed his opinion: "I think Zhang Junhao's strategy is feasible. But we don't have high explosives here. Ordinary explosives and explosives need to be used to explode highlands. Where can we get more explosives? It's not enough to use it to blast Japanese fortresses on the front line. Alas!"

General Feng Yizhong looked at Brigadier General Donn and asked: "Is there any way to transport explosives from the United States?"

General Dorn thought about it and asked, "How many tnt intense explosives are needed?"

General Feng Yizhong looked at the north side, thought for a while, and said, "It costs at least three thousand kilograms?"

Brigadier General Dorn was shocked and said: "Three thousand kilograms? There may not be so many in India. It can only be transported from the local area, which is too difficult."

General Wei Lihuang laughed and said, "Think about a solution! Only you in the United States have this kind of explosives. You also know how many officers and soldiers were killed and killed when the 71st Army and the 6th Army attacked the Zigaoland? If you could use explosives to blow up the mountain in one fell swoop, how many officers and soldiers would be killed? Blasting with explosives is a last resort. If you could use artillery to collapse the mountain, how could you use explosives to blow up? The shells are not serious enough!"

Commander He Shaozhou said: "The number of artillery shells is indeed very limited. Last time our army borrowed more than 1,000 from the 11th Army Station. After the battle in the past two days, hundreds of artillery shells were knocked out, and the artillery shells themselves were very scarce. The number of mortar shells in Zhang Junhot melee team was sufficient, but the mortar shells could not blow up the mountains and could not destroy the fortifications."
